Chorus:
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 F       C                F                 G
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        C             F                G         C
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
 
           F                  G          C            F
 Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand,
   C               F
 Vanished from my hand,
          C               F                   G
 Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
     F         G              C             F
 My weariness amazes me, Iʼm branded on my feet,
   C               F
 I have no one to meet,
          C               F                   G
 And the ancient empty streetʼs too dead for dreaming.

Chorus:
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 F       C                F                 G
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        C             F                G         C
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
 
         F                  G          C      F
 Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
          C               F          
 My senses have been stripped, 
          C               F          
 May hands canʼt feel to grip, 
          C            F          
 my toes too numb to step,
          C               F              G
 Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering.
        F                  G          C      F
 Iʼm ready to go anywhere, Iʼm ready for to fade, 
     C          F       
 into my own parade.
          C               F              G
 Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.

Chorus:
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 F       C                F                 G
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        C             F                G         C
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
 
         F                  G          C   
 Though you might hear laughing, spinning, 
   F
 swinging madly across the sun,
          C            F         
 Itʼs not aimed at anyone,
          C            F         
 Itʼs just escaping on the run,
          C               F              G
 And but for the sky there are no fences facing.
         F                  G          C      F
 And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme,
          C            F         
 To your tambourine in time.
          C            F         
 Itʼs just a ragged clown behind,
          C            F         
 I wouldnʼt pay it any mind,
          C               F              G
 Itʼs just a shadow youʼre seeing that heʼs chasing.

Chorus:
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 F       C                F                 G
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        C             F                G         C
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
 
         F                  G          C      F
 Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind.
          C            F     
 Down the foggy ruins of time,
          C            F     
 Far past the frozen leaves,
          C            F     
 The haunted frightened trees,
          C         F     
 Out to the windy bench,
          C               F              G
 Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
         F                  G          C      F
 Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
          C          F     
 Silhouetted by the sea,
          C            F     
 Circled deep beneath the waves,
          C               F            G
 Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Chorus:
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
 F       C                F                 G
Iʼm not sleepy and there ainʼt no place Iʼm going to.
 F       G               C               F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
        C             F                G         C
In the jingle jangle morning Iʼll come following you.
